It's melange time! Sometimes it's nice to explore a random selection of authors or articles; here are a few that caught my eye recently.

Congratulations to Gary Bourgeault, our "Incredible Author" for October. This author has three blogs can be counted on for original analysis and  relevant business news information. My favorite of his columns is of course BizofShowBiz, I  am after all a self-proclaimed media junkie, and Bourgeault's coverage of the media evolution enthralling. A new model for video distribution is developing but the video streaming phenomenon could have an adverse affect on television viewing.

The Brangelina trip to India caused quite a bit of stir. OurBollywood recently reported that dairy product company, Amul, is using the celebrity couple in their ads. Pretty savvy dairy farmers to capitalize on the increasingly symbiotic relationship between Bollywood and Hollywood by using one of the most publicized crossovers of late; Angelina Jolie is still making the rounds in Asia.

Online social Networking is becoming more important in the business community or there would be no need for the corporate business blog review series or business networking niche sites like JumpUp. 

ThePublishingSpot spotted another writer who apears to have found great success in a viral generated book campaign; how about a scavanger hunt? The author also noted an important development in citizen journalism and yet another innovation in storytelling.

It seems China is cracking down on piracy by handing down serious penaties and might be on the verge of holding bloggers accountable by requiring disclosure of true identity when registering for a blog.
